Flutter save a network image to local directory

Question

In Flutter how to save an image from network to the local directory.

I am new to encoding and decoding images. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To save the network image in local system you need to use ImagePickerSave dart plugin. Add the dart plugin in pub.yaml file: image_picker_saver: ^0.1.0 and call below code to save the image. URL is the image URL of network image

void _onImageSaveButtonPressed(String url) async {
  print("_onImageSaveButtonPressed");
  var response = await http
      .get(url);

  debugPrint(response.statusCode.toString());

  var filePath = await ImagePickerSaver.saveFile(
      fileData: response.bodyBytes);
  var savedFile= File.fromUri(Uri.file(filePath));
}
